I wish the past two to three weeks hadn’t been a roller coaster in terms of my nutrition. Multiple 4000+ calorie days followed by a couple of 2000-2500 calorie days to compensate. I don’t have any desire to be under 220. I’d like to hang around 220-225 for the rest of the year while I train for strength and a bit of hypertrophy. I know that I can’t add 5 lbs of lean mass anymore but I need to start looking at my physique in terms of years and decades. Here are some screen shots of one of my favorite articles because it finally shined a light on reality for me…and released me from my own frivolous pursuit of a physique that isn’t naturally attainable.
Take these for what they’re worth. These are attempts to put a qualitative analysis on the potential of the human body and I don’t think anyone will ever figure it out, but I think these are some good “food for thought” standards.
Edit: The name of the article is “Natural Muscle Building: A Look At Potential, Genetics & Arm Size”. I won’t say where I found it.
